The date pattern that you have:
log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM
Will only roll the files over on a monthly basis. Just want to be sure that
this is what you intend?
If this is the intended behavior, I'd check to make sure that a different log4j
configuration file isn't being loaded from somewhere in the OpenVMS
environment. You can enable the -Dlog4j.debug system property to be able to see
which config file log4j is using.

Subject: DailyRollingAppender - How does it know when to rollover?
I am trying to use LOG4J on OpenVMS. However, my logger is not rolling over on
OpenVMS. So I want to know how the code is determining when the log file
should be rolled over. Below I am posting my code and properties file. The
same code works on windows (of course, I have different properties file that
loads on windows). For completeness sake, I am posting both properties files.
package com.name.webpublishing.webpublishing;
public class WebPublishingApp {
public static Logger logger = getLogger();
private static Logger getLogger() {
try {
String osName =
System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().equals("openvms") ? "openvms" :
"windows";
InputStream is =
WebPublishingApp.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/com/name/webpublishing/webpublishing/log4j_"
+ osName + ".properties");
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(is);
PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
System.out.println("LOADED PROPERTIES!!!");
} catch (IOException ignored) {
if (SeflWebPublishingServlet.DEBUG) {
ignored.printStackTrace();
}
// just use default
}
return Logger.getLogger(WebPublishingApp.class);
}
}
openvms properties - log4j_openvms.properties log4j.rootLogger=WARN, R
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=LOG0:WebPublishing.log
log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM
